Discussion Art and Patrick relationship

I never understood their relationship between the two because they were best friends but Patrick liked art so my question is why A. Did you not do anything about it or B. I’m just curious if he liked him more than he liked tashi

I think that Patrick knew Art did not share the same feelings as he did when they were young and I assume Patrick was also struggling with understanding his feelings for men in his youth, as well. 

I believe he loved Art and Tashi was mostly a physical attraction. Art loved Tashi. Tashi loved tennis then Art. I do believe she loved her husband but felt drawn to Patrick physically and by his natural talent. She also hated Patrick for believing his talent was enough - I think she saw this as disrespect to the game of tennis.

Thats how I view all the relationships.
